Toby's New Trick

Postby Redetotry » Tue Jan 15, 2013 9:40 am

I know I'm hopeless but he is so proud of himself when he does this I had to take a video. Does anyone know how to do this without it opening in my photobucket album?

You are probably the only person I know who taught their dog to jump up on the table! :shock: Now you need to teach him to jump down! :lol:

He does look proud of himself!

Dog show folks and groomer sometimes train this skill for obvious reasons..so much easier on the back. :) They just have to be careful and not permit the dog to jump off the table without permission.... :roll: so much potentially harder on the dog.

Watching the video, BJ, you can see how Toby has grown. He can make eye contact with you but still has difficulty maintaining sustained eye contact...that is still just too threatening for him...... You definitely have expanded his comfort in the world though.... I can only imagine if his first puppy placement had been in a harsh environment with someone with a heavy demanding hand.....it melts your heart to see how much he wants to please you.....

Toby seems to be a quick learner; watch out. He is so cute!

What a cute little dog !!!! He seems proud, but also a little unsure as to what next, Mom??? You sure have a cutie there, looking forward to meeting him soon.

Cute! He certainly is proud of himself!

Radar has a grooming trick too. It's a disappearing act. As soon as she hears water running into the deep sink in the laundry room...she's gone...under the bed.
My mind works like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone.
